Cardinal Gibbons Gift nom Rome.
From, the Baltimore SY-

FROM inc 6cJttin0Te Sus.
Among the other appurtenances to the Office
of a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic church is
the seal. The new seal of Cardinal Gibbons has
a shield in the centre, above which is the Cardi-
nails hat, with tassels hanging conventionally
shield is surmoQnted by cross, and under the
shield is ribbon, supported by an ornament.
Around the edge runs the Cardinals title in
Latin: "Jacobus Tit. S. Mariae Trastevere Presb.
Card Gibbons" There was something elso also
in the package received by Cardinal Gibbons
from Rome on Wednesday. In addition to the
red hat of the cardinalate was another red hat
worn by Cardinal Gibbons while in Rome This
is a large soft hat of beaver, similar to a SOM
brero, with the crown semispherical in shape,
and surrounded by gilt band. On the left
side, depending from the band, is a gold
cord, holding an ornament of gold
lying upon the brim, which is about ten inches
wide The dropping brim in front is held up by
loops of gold cord fastened to the front of the
part which covers the head With the hats and
portraits came also large cake made in Rome
for the Pope and given to the Cardinal while he
was there. This cake is about eighteen inches
in diameter, and eight inches thick and is beau
tfully and artistically ornamental. 1t contains
fruit, and is probably one of the kind that i'm
proves by age. AS it has not been cut as yet,
this. however, can only be surnised. The or
namentation is not high like wedding cakes
made in this country, but consists of frostng
relief, is an intricate tracery of ornament. Up
on the top, also in relief, are a number of
cherubS holding scrolls, upon which are in
scribed notices in the Italian language. The
Cardinals household expect the reporters of
the press will get nearly all of the cake.

Historian Bancroft's Great Library.
From. a Washinoton Letter.

'''AHfStftStOfb
The largest private library in Washington is
Bancroft'S. and it is by all odds the most valu-
able. 1t contains over 1900 volumes, and Ban
croft has another library at Newport. II takes
four large rooms to hold his Washington library
and the walls OF these rooms are lined WIN
cases. They have no covering of either glass or
curtain, and on many of the shelves the books
are two rows deep Among them are manv
rare and curious volumes. He has a copy of
Don Juan which Byron gave him with auto
graphic presentation in it, and he has autograph
letters full of matter and historical interest
from the leading statesmen of the country He
has fine engravings. and he has copies in manu-
script volumes of the secret records of France
and England relating to this country. These
cost mint of money, and Bancroft was aided
in getting them by the governments of the two
countries His books contain volumes of all
languages, and his history has been translated
into several different tongues. He sleeps in his
library and has a little table beside his bed with
two wax candles upon it, There is paper pen
and ink upon this, and if thought strikes him
at night he rises and jots it down. He CON
tinues to buy books and his library Is already
so valuable that an attempt will probably be
made to obtain it for the government at his
death

Cameron, of Pennsylvania Senator George
Vest, of Missouri, and ex-Gov. S. T. Hauser, of
Montana. They were in New York together

A SHABBY TRICK.
An Attempt to Make the Presidents
Receptions Ridiculous.

An Attempt to Make the Presidents
Receptions Ridiculous.
Washington Cor. Louisville Courier-JournG.
A recent complimentary notice of Mr.. Clay
ton Mcilichael and the success of his sway at
the White House during the Arthur term and
for the first year of Mr.. Clevelands recalls the
memory of his Vaccinations te make Miss Cleve-
lands receptions ridiculous. As he managed
those of Mrs. McElroy and her brother, Mr.. and
Miss Cleveland left all the arrangements to him.
Said his wife to a friend: Don't come to our re-
ception tomorrow, it won't be nice. we are go
ing to run the Democrats through" 1t was the
first Saturday after the Inauguration, and the
fine weather which had prevailed all the week
changed to a dark, gloomy afternoon. All the
drawing-rooms but the East room were closed
10 visitors, No gas was lighted to dispel the
gloom not plant or flower was to be seen. TO
indicate economy and retrenchment and
make it odious, strip of crash was laid over
the carpets from the door which opened into the
veStlbule to the East room, then across the car
pet in that room in front of the receiving party
and out to the window which was improvised as
an exit. Sofas and chairs were placed in front
and behind the receiving party, which consisted
of Miss Cleveland and the Presidents married
sisters, Mrs Bacon and Mrs. Hoyt lnstruc-
tons had been given not to ask Mrs. Hendricks,
Mrs. Carlisle, the Bayards, or any of the now
Cabinet to assist Miss Cleveland Policemen
picketed the line OF crush and hustled the wife
OF Senator Eaton, OF Connecticut, Mrs.
Randolph Tucker, and other prominent
Democratic ladies, if they did not
step briskly these policemen
desired and the ladies were hurried past Miss
Cleveland, and hoped out of the window like
the childrens game of jumping the sheep over
the stile, No doubt Mr.. Mc9Iichael and his set
enjoyed the fun. The Indignation which was
aroused was intense, and some of the leading
Democratic ladies went to Miss Cleveland to re-
monstrate, and she innocently asked: WAS it
different from the usual Saturday receptions?
Did you ever attend those of Mrs. McElroy?'
The ladies then described the many elegant re-
ceptions they bad attended and ventured to
hint that Mr.. McA1ichael was not a safe person
to consult, and that as long as he remained she
had better seek other advice and give instead of

The Common Sense Soldier.
From the Judge

From the Judge
Min rush TO arms mid wars alarms
And wreath their brows in glory,
But as for me I'd rather be
The man who tells the story.
Where muskets flash the soldiers rush,
Meet treason's dash and quell it,
But am one when all is done
Would rather live and tell it.
Whin forced to part it wrings the heart,
But soldiers griefs are 6eeting;
But / m man would stretch LIES span
To reach future meeting.
A tale of fights Minis hearts delights
And cash it brings to see it;
But I'm not vain, just remain
And live along and tell it.
Whin min portray the deadly fray
Tne picture fires the spirit,
But all min know the artist who
Has drawn it was not near it;
1t spoils the joke whin powder smoke
Is near enough to smell it;
The dyes they use fail to amuse-
I'd rather live to tell it.
For some must die and some must fly
Whene'er the battle RACES;
If left to me I'd quick agree
Which way to earn me wages.
Some leave a name adorned by fame
For bards in song to swell it
In anth ems loud, but I'm not prond,
I'll live along and tell it.
So here's to all who fight and fall.
To comrades brave and plucky,
And here's to him with life and limb,
Bedad think him lucky
Let honor kape the byes who Shape,
Nor future years dispel it,
And here's to those who struck the blows
And still live on to tell it.

DR.. Falligant's System of Sewerage.

DR.. Falligant's System of Sewerage.
The MORNING News has published several
articles, written by DR.. Falligant. which
advocate the adoption of the system Of
sewerage for which an act passed by the
| Legislature provides. The articles, appar-
rently, show two things; First, that it is
the cheapest system that can DO adopted,
and, second, that it will, in all probability,
! give better results, and, hence, moro salts
faction than any other.
If there are any good reasons why the
Council shouldn't adopt this system the pub
lie ought to know them. If the Council
has any reason for not adopting it let it
| state it.
The present system Of sewerage is not sat
isfactory. 1t is not only very costly, but it
is Objectionable for other reasons which are
known to all property owners of the city
who have given attention to house drainage.
Nothing is more necessary for health than
that houses shall have proper drainage. The
impression is, and it is probably we'll
founded, that the percentage of houses in
this city that have very imperfect drainage,
is very large. As there are bound to be i'm
should be taken to secure the best system of
drainage to carry out these improvements.
Those who have read DR.. Falligants
articlse appear to be fsvorably impressed by
them. The system Of drainage which he
advocates seems to be just the thing that is
needed here. If therea are citizens interested
in the house drainage problem who have not
read the doctors articles they ought to do
so at once, and if the members of the Council
have not read them they should do so before
taking any steps in matters relating to
sewerage and house drainage.
House owners now make connection with
sewers at very considerable expense, and
when it is made it is frequently found to be
unsatisfactory. Let the system of sewerage
advocated by DR.. Falligant be thoroughly
studied by the Council, and let the opinion
Of experts with regard to it be taken, if that
is deemed necessary. and if it is what is
claimed for it let it be adopted. What the
people want is the best and cheapest system
and they have right to expect that the
Council will give it to them.

Senator Sherman, who, after Mr.. Blaine,
is the most prominent Republican candidate
for President, says that he has very simple
platform As he states it, it is rs follows:
First, the protection of American indus
tries; and second, fair count Of the vote in
the Southern States.
Tho Senator's platform is not likely to ex-
cite much discussion. The second part of it
is calculated to call out some vigorous de
malls and assertions, but it affords no oppor-
tunity for a difference of opinion. Neither
in the North nor the South is there any
party, or faction of party, which objects
to a fair count of the votes in the Southern
States
The Senator desires to be understood as
asserting, however, that the vote is not
fairly counted in the South. 1t is very easy
to make an assertion of that kind, but how
is the assertion to be maintained! Every
where in the South it is denied that there is
not a free ballot and a fair count. The
issue is joined and the Senator must prove
his assertion.
He can doubtless find here and there
white or colored Republican politician who
will testify that as far as he knows the col
ored vote is not counted as it is cast, but
such testimony is only an opinion.
1t is wholly unsupported by fact, and ought
not, therefore, be received by anybody
who is anxious to see justice done. Where
there is one who will say that he does not
believe that the ballots in the Southern
States are fairly counted there are hundreds
of reputable men who will assert that the
ballot box is free to all, and that the ballots
are counted honestly.
Senator Sherman doubtless thinks that
the second part of his platform will help
the Republican party, and he proposes to
present it as embodying an issue which
with as little delay as possible.
The fact that it is based upon falsehood
doesn't disturb him in the least. 1t will an
swer his purpose almost as well as if he
could produce convincing evidence that the
votes of the colored people in the Southern
States are suppressed. 1t is probable that
this winter he will introduce into Congress
a bill providing for boards of elections to
look after the counting of the vote in
naulOHdl eleCJlOHS III ali JUe SIuIeS. GouCu
boards are needed in the Senator's State,
particularly in Cincinnati, but there is no
use for them in the South.
The other plank in the Senator's platform
does not appear to have much appropriate
ness. The tariff reformers are not proposing
to deprive American industries of protec-
ton. What they are proposing now is to
reduce the tariff in order to get rid of the
Treasury surplus. They don't want the tax
on whisky and tobacco removed but they
do want the tax on many of the necessaries
of life reduced. The Senator doesn't want
the whisky tax removed either, and in that
respect he differs from some Democrats late
ly converted to protection.
The Senator's platform, therefore, is not
much of platform, after all. AS it is in
tended only for a campaign document, it
will probably answer just as well as if it
were based upon truth and were pertinent
to the existing condition Of affairs.
